Emergency is emergency...not time to think, shift back...yes, experienced riders will auto shift but, there are plenty of stories of over the bars because of emergency stops. I am sure plenty of folks here have their own OTB stories.
Not time to think - exactly. It needs to be automatic, which means you've practiced it enough. Experienced riders will shift back and modulate the brakes automatically, and wouldn't you much rather do that than compromise your brakes so that you don't hurt yourself with a lack of experience?
Sorry, won't hijack the thread with my preaching anymore.
